I am considering applying for a mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Pershore with 65 per cent loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for ?

There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is greater potential for delays and confusion with two solicitors involved, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.

Do I choose a Licenced Conveyancer or Solicitor for conveyancing in Pershore?

Two types of professional can conduct conveyancing in Pershore namely licenced conveyancers or solicitors. The two can administer conveyancing services that required to complete the disposal or purchase of property. They are both obliged to conduct Pershore conveyancing on similar standards and guidelines so you can be sure that your conveyancing will be properly conducted and that the requisite procedures will be accurately attended to.

It is not clear whether my bank requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Pershore building society branch on various occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Pershore conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called to say that they will not lend based on their specific requirements. I have no idea who is right.

As long as the is on the bank approved list, they must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook requirements for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by . Is it usual for to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Pershore is approved on their conveyancing panel? have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.

A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I am purchasing a new build house in Pershore with a loan from . The developers would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The property agent advised me not inform my lawyer about this deal as it could put at risk my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Pershore I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Pershore for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
